Hi folks!

I picked up this Half Dime at my LCS yesterday. Looking for grading opinions.

Just looked this one up, what is the weight of the coin? I don't know anything about this series but a simple picture comparison and it looks off to me, especially the obverse.


I'll wait to see what people who have actually seen these have to say.

xf details scratched, harshly cleaned
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'll say EF details (scratched, cleaned) as well. Shame.

Genuine, not gradable

Just looked up the coins value, I think even with the severe damage it would probably still sell a fair bit over melt even as a whole filler. 90,000 is a low mintage but I have no clue if it's a popular series so I guess I can't really judge. Imo it's a 10-20$ whole filler.
